Hi,
I’m writing my experience in dealing with nausea and indigestion on Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon). So far from other experiences I read, it seems that almost anyone on this type 2 diabetes medication will have this side effect, and it’s definitely worth dealing with since after you manage to get your stomach issues caused by Byetta under control, it actually starts to help you lose weight.
For anyone starting Byetta, my advice would be to eat within half an hour after the injection and try eating liquid-soft food. The nausea usually starts about an hour after the injection and the only thing I’ve found that consistently works is taking ginger supplement daily and eating not-too-heavy meals after the injection.

Hi,
thanks for sharing your experience! I'm supposed to start on Byetta prefilled injections next week after my insurance clears it. Of course, I'm hoping to have as little side effects as possible, but if I happen to have the same stomach related issues as you, could you please give me more details about liquid-soft diet you mention?
Which foods should be avoided, not counting the ones that I already eliminated due to type 2 diabetes?
